It’s amerikkka now. Sorry to say.

Thank Putin

Strikes me that AUKUS (aka U-SUKA) is just senior Australian politicians setting up their retirement funds. I have zero confidence in any supporters of this $368B spend.

The USA is not reliable

You say it.

What?!? Americans ripping off their allies ?!? Very on brand.

Oh boy! Allies depending on us for defense should look for other options.

The US needs to occupy Japan again to safeguard an attack against China

Well the current POTUS is most famous for stiffing contractors out of due money and litigating them into bankruptcy rather than pay. It was his thing when he was on the state level .. and he was great at it

Unreliable ally. So I'm not surprised. This is the new world order, which means you should expect America will not act with honour. Shake on the deal, but count your fingers after and presume they might renege. Similar to how Russia acted, where Europe made the mistake of trusting them🙄

Huh, U.S. is unreliable. Who woulda thought? They cannot be trusted for anything right now.

Canada: Cancel the F35s.

USA is no longer a country of law. Anything you buy should be cash on deliver and test.

The EU is ramping up arms production now,better late than never but the single biggest loser in all this will be the American Arms Industry Without doubt Before too long they will be screaming like stuck pigs

Protecting ourselves from… the U$A!

probably Trump's Qatari bank account, if we're being honest.

Poland is buying military equipment from South Korea and Germany Canada is buying monitoring technology from Australia

Denmark flat out accused us of delaying on the F-35s we made the condition of letting them give their F-16s to Ukraine, too.

That fool pays no one!! 🤬🤬🤬

My god his stuffing people for goods rendered. The orange shit is the fucking worst

The Japanese are worried about US non delivery of $6.9B of hardware. I see two chances of delivery of our $368B of (virtual) submarines: none, and Buckley's! AUKUS = U-SUKA

Os EUA roubam e pilham há séculos!

5 years late?

Sounds like Japan is learning what contractors all over the eastern seaboard have learned about Trump the hard way .. He's a thief and a liar, and his word isn't worth a bowl of festering dog snot. (h/t 'UHF')

Unfortunately not “all of a sudden” —most of it was on the Democrats’ watch defence-blog.com/japan-accuse...

Update: yup, these contracts were signed over five years ago and didn’t get fulfilled at any point, so this is some bipartisan fuckery™️ defence-blog.com/japan-accuse...

It might not be just Trump—Denmark wasn’t allowed to give their F-16s to Ukraine until they bought F-35s, and those were delayed so long the Danes actually accused the Biden WH of slow-walking them—only for them to get shipped pretty fast after Copenhagen started talking to the media.

endnu et argument for at købe gripen og ikke f35

Oh just yet a other bill Trump didn't pay. Who is surprised by this?

Hey Canada: Let’s get off the pot ASAP Gripen, Rafale, Typhoon, whatever.

The US ripped someone else off? Really?

👍

Why'd they trust deadbeat Don?

Trump NEVER pays his debts. Sorry Japan. Maybe you should cut ties with us already. We won’t blame you.

Wow hope somone doesn't get spanked soon www.reuters.com/world/china/...

Not very inspiring to any potential F-35 buyers. Late and unsupported describes a poor supplier. Escalating price and very high maintenance costs describe a poor purchase choice. We should heed the Japanese experience.

US is only after 2 things: - to impose its products with incomplete options/efficiencies on its "allies" - to maintain allies's security dependency and put pressure on them JPN was right with its provocation regarding nuclear weapons US is no longer a reliable partner World must withdraw from NPT

Of course it is. Can Albo and Marles not see that? Or to put it another way, what's in it for them to keep engaging in this AUKUS farce. It's our money they are wasting and a bloody lot of it.

It's not just the cruelty. It's the incompetence too.
